Apps and the Firefox Marketplace

World Cup Apps —Editors’ Picks

You’ve waited four years for this. Now it’s time to live/breathe/eat/sleep/sweat/scream football. Whether you plan to enjoy the games from home, or pack up your nation’s flag and travel to Brazil, Firefox Marketplace has a bunch of apps to help you make the most of your World Cup 2014 experience.

Streaming News, Scores & Highlights
Never miss a moment with apps specially designed to deliver breaking news, live scores, and alerts.

Available in more than a dozen languages, Goal.com is one of the most comprehensive football news apps available. Real-time scores, video highlights, and great social sharing capabilities top our list of favorite features.

Football Games
What better way to get into the mood of the games than with a few games.

Real Soccer is a full-field football experience. Choose your team based on different skill strengths and compete against the computer. Pass, shoot, control your goalkeeper—it’s all within your control.

Airfootball is the football version of air hockey. Simple and surprisingly challenging.

Speaking of headers, in Real Headshot you recreate Zinedine Zidane’s infamous head butt maneuver! See how many opponents you can thwart with “Zizou’s” forehead before time runs out. I think this game is actually a bit too difficult for its own good (I could never successfully land more than two head butts), but it’s just too hilarious not to include in this list.

Travel
For those fortunate enough to travel to Brazil, you can plan your complete trip—everything form airline to hotel and car reservations—with Kayak and Booking.com.

Kekanto helps you discover local hot spots, restaurants, clubs, and more. And you can get anywhere quickly and easily by hailing a cab with Easy Taxi.

Need some help with your Portuguese? Translator works in 50 languages.

Enjoy the World Cup, everyone—may your team emerge victorious!
